    I'm not going to include the instructions, but there are a couple things to remember:

    SQL installer won't run from a UNC path.  You'll either need to copy the contents of the CD to a local directory or use a mapped drive. 

    SQL 2000 is not compatible with Terminal Services in "Application" mode. 

    I think that's it.

    Yes you can (I have not done a console installation since v7.0 SP4 !). Always via RDP, no terminal services, and always from a mapped drive. and ... don;t forget your service pack !
